We also had one day of snow, the first since 1927 which soon melted.<br /><br />But watching the British news I was amused to see that the supermarkets had jacked up the price of vegetables, especially lettuce, a day after the bad weather arrived here.<br /><br />Blatant profiteering. There was and is absolutely no shortage of produce here.

This is not particularly cold for this time of year, in fact temperatures below minus 20 are not uncommon. Ditto snowfalls of a foot or so happen from time to time.<br /><br />Somehow we manage to struggle through.<br /><br />It&#39;s all a matter of perspective: I have lived in the sunny South of England, where snow is almost unknown and I have lived in the North, where it is much more common. You get used to it very quickly. I also adjusted easily to conditions out here in the colonies.<br /><br />Besides: I would have thought that a bit of cold weather would be just the ticket for the &#39;snowflake&#39; generation.Expat in Canadanoreply@blogger.com
